China Suppliers Wear-Resistant GFS Slurry Storage Tank Factory for Enhanced Corrosion and Wear Protection
Description
The Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) tank is a kind of bolted storage tank made from two materials: glass and steel. High-strength TRS (titanium-rich steel) plates and enamels are perfectly fused at high temperatures to form a highly inert inorganic glaze layer. Based on the coating technology, it combines the advantages of both materials — the strength and flexibility of steel and excellent anti-corrosion properties of glass.
Material Characteristics of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks
Low Carbon, High Strength, High Titanium
The steel substrate employed in the construction of glass-fused-to-steel tanks is a special high strength enamelled steel with a unique design and superior properties. Its mechanical properties, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, far exceed those of conventional steel sheets.
LIDA's glass fused to steel (GFS) bolted tanks are the classical choice for slurry storage. They are composed mainly of enamel panel, special sealant and self-locking bolts, etc. The steel plates are overlapped, bolted together and sealed with high performance seals. All the bolt heads are plastic-capped to provide protection against corrosion in the process environment. Mastic is extruded between the panels and the bolt heads seal the bolt shank to prevent contact with process fluids.
For slurry storage, oil drilling and other fields, it places greater emphasis on wear resistance, explosion prevention, and rapid relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is a Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) tank?
A
A Glass Fused to Steel tank is a bolted storage tank that combines high-strength TRS (titanium-rich steel) plates with enamel glass, fused together at high temperatures to form a highly inert inorganic glaze layer. This construction merges the structural strength of steel with the superior corrosion resistance of glass.
Q
What makes the steel substrate in GFS tanks special?
A
The steel substrate used is a specially designed high-strength enamelled steel (low carbon, high strength, high titanium). Its mechanical properties — including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation — far exceed those of conventional steel sheets, ensuring long-term structural reliability.
Q
What are the main applications of Glass Fused to Steel tanks?
A
GFS tanks are widely used for slurry storage, sewage treatment, oil drilling, and other industrial applications. They are also suitable for fields requiring wear resistance, explosion prevention, and rapid relocation, and can be integrated to form assembled reactors.
Q
How are GFS bolted tanks assembled and sealed?
A
GFS bolted tanks are composed of enamel panels, special sealant, and self-locking bolts. Steel plates are overlapped and bolted together with high-performance seals. Bolt heads are plastic-capped for corrosion protection, and mastic is extruded between panels to prevent contact between bolt shanks and process fluids.
Q
How long is the service life of a Glass Fused to Steel tank?
A
With simple maintenance, GFS tanks have a service life in excess of 30 years. Their excellent anti-corrosion properties, strong temperature adaptability, and durable enamel coating contribute significantly to their long operational lifespan.
Q
Can Glass Fused to Steel tanks be relocated or expanded?
A
Yes. One of the key advantages of GFS tanks is their bolted modular construction, which makes them highly flexible for relocation, capacity expansion, and recycling. This also results in a short construction period and low requirements for the construction environment.
